I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.

James 2:14-18

“Indeed someone might say, “You have faith and I have work.” Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.”

We are challenged to actively live our faith following Jesus’ example of love. Our faith should be shown through good works.

“Faith without works is dead”

1) Let your words, actions and decisions throughout this week reflect your active, lively and vibrant faith.

2) Commit yourself to act by faith and produce works and fruits of the spirit: Think of being kind, patient to someone; show love, goodness and demonstrate joy and peace and among the family. Manifest your faithfulness to God and self-control in dealing with situations (Galatians 5:22-34)

Let us meditate on the words of St. Augustine:

“Faith and works must go together for faith to be considered "living". Faith which is not accompanied by obedience to Christ's commands is the "faith of demons"
